From now on, my gossip column is going to be a weekly feature on GAYVN.com, so it's wonderful that I now have the opportunity to give you quick snippets about what's happening in the gay and bi world without being hampered by being published in a monthly magazine! I'll keep you up to date with what the fans say, what's hot, and who's doing what to whom.
• Dirty Bird Pictures just sent over Mike Donner's much-anticipated sequel to The Porne Ultimatum called (of course) The Porne Identity. Precocious bubble-butt Brent Corrigan (whom I hung out with at the Grabby's in Chicago this past year) stars with Kaden Saylor and Devin Moss. Donner is nearly unrivaled in the gay porn world for his ability to tell a cohesive, complex and often funny story in his porn flicks. He's also touring California to promote his book, How to be a Gay Porn Star, with some of his cast....
• Brett Mycles, if you don't know, is a breathtakingly muscled, handsome man, and Jet Set Men has rustled up some never-before-seen erotic wrestling matches as well as an in-depth interview and some secret footage of him sucking dick! Look for Brett Mycles Unseen....
• Robert Van Damme is best buds with Blue Blake, who first introduced me to this hunk of man meat! When Van Damme was looking to get into the business, Blue gave him some no-nonsense advice and told him to go to Gino Colbert, who was Blue's major adviser back in the 1990s when Blue was making the transition from performing in front of the camera to behind the scenes. Van Damme was in Colbert's Hungry 4 Sex 2 with Eric Hung, Gino's Asian Sex Machine, and then they collaborated on Van Damme's first release for his fledgling company on a DVD called Private Party. Marina Pacific is distributing the co-directed project (FabScout cast the rest) and Gino says, "We turned it into a trilogy." (Yes, Gino knows how to milk a good thing!) "You'll see Private Party 1, 2 and 3 being released months apart. They're quite incredible. In the third installment, Robert bottoms for the first time in his career." (They're not telling us who the lucky top is, but we'll let you know as soon as the secret is out.) It's nice to see Gino come out of his semi-retirement. He's been casting porn stars in The Lair for here! TV and is directing a mainstream review show, Kevin Thomas Presents, that stars the great and funny Los Angeles Times film critic Kevin Thomas and will air on here! TV. Thomas is a longtime friend of Colbert's and I often see them at mainstream movie screenings, and Gino has gotten Kevin in to some of the past GAYVN Awards shows, too!
